Vegetarian Diet, Czech Baking

This traditional Czech dessert called bublanina (bubble cake) is out of this world. This cake-like treat is easy and fun to make, and it is typical for its’ light vanilla and lemon undertone. A touch of gentle fruit on the top of the cake nicely balances and brings together the...

Ingredients:

Bubble cake:

Greasing form:

* I like to use a combination of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, but this can be great with plums or peaches, or cherries.

Tools:

Directions:

1. Before you start:

1.1.

Set oven to 320°F.

1.2.

Grease and flour your baking dish.

2. The batter:

2.1. Place into a kitchen mixer with a whisk attachment:

2 sticks of butter – soft
4 eggs
1 ½ cups of granulated sugar

Whisk on high speed until all ingredients nicely combine and turn together into a creamy texture (about 3 – 5 minutes).

2.2. Add:

1 TBSP of baking powder
1 TSP of vanilla extract

Process on high speed until fully incorporated for about 2 minutes.

2.3. Add:

1 cup of milk
3 cups of all-purpose flour
Juice from 1 lemon

Process on medium speed until fully combined (about 2 minutes).

3. Assembly:

3.1.

Gently pour and distribute the batter in a baking dish using a silicone spatula.

3.2. Place the fruit of your choice on top of the batter after the fruit is prepared.

Important:
When using strawberries and other fruit of the same size or larger, it is best to cut into smaller pieces so they don’t “sink through” (additionally, a slice of strawberry also adds a nice visual effect on the top of the cake).

4. Bake:

4.1.

Bake in a preheated oven until fully baked (about 50 – 60 minutes, it may take a little longer, especially if you bake more than one thing at a time in your oven).

4.2.

Test with a toothpick.

4.3.

Let fully cool before further manipulation and serving.

5. Serving:

5.1. After fully cooled, leave it in the pan and cut it into approximately 12 even pieces (or adjust to your preference).

Note:
This will make it very easy to scoop each piece out for serving. If you grease and flour your baking dish well, you can also flip the bublanina out before cutting.

5.2.

Serve with a gentle touch of powdered sugar.

If parts of the ingredients stick to the side of the kitchen mixer during processing, stop the mixer, and use a spatula to mix it back in. Then, continue processing.
